Cardinals manager Ray Blades lost the confidence of his pitching staff. Then he lost the confidence of the team owner. Naturally, he lost his job.
On June 7, 1940, the Cardinals fired Blades and replaced him with Billy Southworth. Cardinals owner Sam Breadon made both decisions without consulting his top baseball executive, Branch Rickey.
Blades had been Rickey's choice to be manager. By firing Rickey's personal favorite and keeping the executive out of the decision-making process, Breadon made it clear who was boss. In doing so, he damaged the relationship with Rickey. Two years later, in October 1942, Rickey resigned and became general manager of the Dodgers.
Star pupil
The connection between Rickey and Blades took root in 1920 when Rickey, then Cardinals manager, discovered the outfielder at a tryout camp. Rickey said Blades "ran like a deer," according to Rickey's biographer, Murray Polner.
Blades made his big-league debut in 1922. He played 10 seasons with the Cardinals and hit .301 with a .395 on-base percentage. Rickey was his manager from 1922-25.
After Rickey moved fulltime into the front office, he continued to mentor Blades, grooming him for leadership opportunities. Blades was a player-coach with St. Louis from 1930-32. Rickey then made Blades a manager, giving him prominent assignments within the farm system Rickey had built.
Blades managed the Cardinals' Columbus (Ohio) club from 1933-35 and their Rochester (N.Y.) affiliate from 1936-38.
Manager moves
During the 1938 season, Rickey clashed with Cardinals manager Frankie Frisch. Rickey wanted Frisch out. Frisch was a favorite of Breadon. About this time, the Cubs began wooing Rickey for their top front-office job.
Faced with the prospect of losing Rickey to the Cubs, Breadon reluctantly allowed Frisch to be fired in September 1938. Rickey selected Blades to replace Frisch.
Blades led the 1939 Cardinals to a 92-61 record and second-place finish. His pitching staff had the fewest complete games (45) in the major leagues. At the time, most starting pitchers wanted and expected to pitch complete games. Blades had a different approach, believing a team should utilize whichever pitcher could be most effective.
Because of the Cardinals' good record in 1939, Blades' steady use of relievers was tolerated. When the Cardinals started poorly in 1940, though, Blades' handling of the pitching staff became an issue.
Trouble in St. Louis
The 1940 Cardinals lost six of their first eight games and 16 of their first 24. Their slugger, Joe Medwick, was miffed at Blades. Pouting, Medwick went into a slump.
Published reports indicated Blades would be fired. Breadon issued a denial, telling The Sporting News, "I'm not thinking of any change now. Sure, we're disappointed, but the failure of the Cardinals cannot be blamed on the manager."
On June 4, the Cardinals played their first home night game. What was supposed to be a celebratory occasion turned into an embarrassment. The Dodgers scored five runs in the first inning. Fans booed and threw bottles onto the field. The Dodgers rolled to a 10-1 victory. Breadon decided then a change was necessary.
The plot thickens
On June 5, Breadon contacted Oliver French, president of the Rochester farm team, and arranged to meet in New York City. The Rochester club was playing a series in Newark, N.J. French called his manager, Southworth, and asked him to come to the New Yorker Hotel in Manhattan. When Southworth arrived, Breadon was there, according to Southworth biographer John C. Skipper.
Breadon informed Southworth he would replace Blades.
With the Cardinals' record at 14-24, Breadon announced the firing of Blades and hiring of Southworth on June 7 at St. Louis. The Sporting News described the moves as "impulsive."
"Branch Rickey was not even informed by Breadon on either of these moves … While Breadon was away doing his plotting, Rickey was telling sports writers that no change was contemplated," wrote Dick Farrington of The Sporting News.
Though Rickey respected Southworth and had helped him revive his managerial career in the Cardinals' system, "Rickey had been holding out for more time on Blades."
Breadon said firing Blades was necessary because "the team was in a rut," adding, "I like Ray and I'm sorry it had to happen. It hurt me a whole lot to do it … I have no criticism to make on his strategical moves."
The Sporting News, however, reported that "the entire (pitching) staff was demoralized" by Blades' handling of the starters.
Southworth led the Cardinals to two World Series championships (1942 and '44) and three consecutive National League pennants (1942-44) before resigning after the 1945 season.
Blades became a coach with the 1942 Reds. After Rickey joined the Dodgers, he hired Blades. From 1944-46, Blades managed the Dodgers' St. Paul (Minn.) affiliate. He was a Dodgers coach in 1947 and '48.
In 1951, Blades returned to St. Louis as a coach on the staff of Cardinals manager Marty Marion. Blades also was a Cubs coach from 1953-56.

California Intercontinental University's flexible format helps our motivated and committed students balance work, college, and life in order to reach their professional goals. Vyollette Madrigal is one such motivated and committed student who is pursuing and achieving her goals.
A single mother of two, Vyollette says working full-time while also caring for her children didn't leave much time to pursue her education. As a result, she says, attending an online university—and CIU, specifically—became the "perfect answer" for her busy life.
"I've attended other online schools, but attending CIU has been the best choice I've ever made," says Vyollette.
Vyollette, who will graduate in 2018 with a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration, plans to pursue a career in accounting. Not only does she appreciate the opportunity to work at her own pace without having to commute to a campus, but she also cherishes the education, encouragement, and support she's received from CIU's "amazing" professors.
"The professors are top-notch. They're the best!" she says. "They're very helpful and understanding. My advisor has always followed up with me. He motivates me, and is always there whenever I have questions."
While Vyollette appreciates the instruction and interaction she's received from CIU's world-class faculty, she says that support and encouragement extends to her fellow students, as well.
"I've learned so much these past few years," she says. "I thought learning online would be isolating, but on the contrary, every week on the discussion board, I communicate with different students from all over the world."

U.S. Supreme Court temporarily allows Trump's ban on most refugees
The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday issued a brief emergency order allowing the Trump administration to keep travel ban on most refugees while the legal battle over the ban continues.
The U.S. Supreme Court issues a brief emergency order allowing the Trump administration to keep travel ban on most refugees while the legal battle over the ban continues,on Tuesday, September 12, 2017. [File Photo: china.com]
The order effectively reversed part of a federal appeals court ruling that had lifted the travel ban's restrictions on the nation's refugee program.
It took a vote of five justices to grant a stay application until further notice, according to the local media reports. The Supreme Court justices did not explain their reasoning in their one-paragraph order.
In its opinion last week, the Ninth Circuit of Appeals Court based in San Francisco ruled against the Trump administration, saying refugees should be allowed to enter the United States if they are covered by an admissions agreement between the U.S. government and a refugee resettlement agency.
Under the federal appeals court's ruling, roughly 24,000 vetted refugees should be able to enter the United States. They will now be ineligible for entry.
The appeals court had also rejected the Trump administration's bid to bar the U.S. entry from six Muslim-majority countries by people with grandparents, uncles, aunts and other relatives in the United States.
The Trump administration did not challenge that part of the ruling, and the Supreme Court did not address the question in its Tuesday order, said a New York Times report.
The Supreme Court handed the Trump White House a partial win in June when it allowed the administration to temporarily block people from six Muslim-majority countries from entering the United States, while carving out an exemption for people with a bona fide relationship with a person or entity in the country.
Under the U.S. travel ban, people from Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen, are denied entry to the country for 90 days, while all refugees are banned from entering the country for 120 days so as to give the Trump government time to assess vetting procedures.
The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear arguments on Trump's overall travel order on Oct. 10.

Prioritizing the Backlog with the Business in Mind
Last night, I went to a talk given by Luke Hohmann of Enthiosys for Agile Austin.
The talk was focused around prioritizing the backlog. A more in depth version will be presented by Luke at the Agile Conference in August. There were a few good points that I took away from it.
The first is that you need to really understand your business. Luke's company has identified 7 different models that companies use to make money in software (they call them Value Exchange Models). These include selling by transaction (ex., a click through on a Google advertisement), by time (ex., support), by metering (ex., # cpu's), by data, by service (ex. a hosted service), by hardware (ex., embedded) or by % of cost saved / revenue gained.
You might blend multiple of these. But you need to understand which you use. And then think about the engines you have in place to drive those. For example, Adobe wouldn't sell many Acrobat editors if the reader wasn't ubiquitous.
Now that you understand the business a little better, identify things that would help to make those more successful and then prioritize your backlog based on how much the item is expected to help.
Google makes its money on transactions (clicks on advertising). If the Gmail team focused just on making the best email software possible, they might not be helping the business at all. Instead, they should focus on how they can make email better at driving users to click on advertising.
Obviously, there's always multiple factors involved / goals you are trying to achieve. Gmail has to remain competitive or it will fail. The key is to focus on the most important few and then to prioritize based on what will help best in achieving those.
Another good point he made was that you should analyze the success of the release in driving those engines. If you thought something would help and it didn't, figure out why not or you're likely to make a similar mistake in the future.
The final point that I took away was that the whole team needs to understand the business engines and how what they're doing will help. If it is restricted to just the product manager, you won't get nearly the benefit. 10 heads are better than one. Particularly when those other 9 are doing things daily which directly impact what you're trying to accomplish.

If you can write a simple email to a friend—and you like to share ideas with other people—you have all the qualifications you need to make a good income, live wherever you want in the world, and be your own boss.
Age…experience…location…none of that matters.
I'm talking about freelance copywriting. People often think they need a lot of qualifications to become a copywriter. But, the truth is, you don't need a special education to succeed in this industry. There are successful copywriters who didn't finish high school.
Simply put, copywriters write words for companies to send out to customers. You've probably received flyers and sales letters through your mailbox…or read promotional emails and blogs on your computer…maybe you've seen descriptions of cars, furniture, sports gear, or health supplements.
It was a copywriter who put the words together.
Some copywriters are only 18 and some are retired. Some copywriters are stay-at-home moms and some left six-figure corporate jobs. The only thing you need is a computer and an internet connection.
And remember, if your writing can persuade people to take action, you can become a very wealthy writer.
Experienced writers—those with just a few successful projects under their belt—can charge between $5,000 and $10,000 (and more) per sales promotion.
Even if you only write one promotion per month, you could easily bring in $60,000+ (working just part-time)! And that doesn't even take into consideration any royalties that are common with direct-response copywriting…
Typical royalty rates are around 2% to 3% of sales, but I've seen them go as high as 10%. And because companies will mail your letters again and again, you could continue to get paid on one single letter for years and years.
It's a passive income that allows you to truly relax and enjoy yourself…
On the beach in Panama…in the mountains of Ecuador…the countryside of Provence…on an island off Bali…wherever your heart takes you, this income can get you there.
You see the writing of copywriters every day.
You might think you need to be the next Stephen King or J. K. Rowling to make a living as a writer, but…
Nothing could be further from the truth!
Regular folks, like you and me, are making enough money to replace their full-time income, quit their day jobs, and live anywhere in the world they choose to be.

Baalabak/Baalbak/Baalbeck, Lebanon's greatest Roman treasure, can be counted among the wonders of the ancient world. These are not only the largest and most noble Roman temples ever built, but they are also among the best preserved. Towering high above the Beqaa plain, their monumental proportions proclaimed the power and wealth of Imperial Rome.
The gods worshipped here, the Triad of Jupiter, Venus and Mercury, were grafted onto the indigenous deities of fertility. Local influences are also seen in the planning and layout of the temples, which vary from the classic Roman design. Over the centuries Baalbeck's monuments suffered from theft, war and earthquakes, as well as from numerous medieval additions, fortunately, the modern visitor can see the site in something close to its original form thanks to work in the past hundred years by German, French and Lebanese archaeologists.
Baalbeck is located on two main historic trade routes, one between the Mediterranean coast and Syrian interior and other northern Syria and northern Palestine. Today the city, 85 kilometers from Beirut, is an important administrative and economic center in the northern Beqaa valley.
While the Baalaback is known primarily in the west as the site of the famous Roman ruins, in the Middle East the ruins are called "The castle". The ruins were suitably fortified during the Moslem conquests and Baalbak became the great fortified town at the head of the Beqaa Valley where it borders on the valley of the Orontes River in Syria. Previous to its more recent western romantic appeal, especially nurtured by the 19th century British on the extended 'Grand Tour' it was fought over frequently and decisively during the Crusades.
Every school child knows the Romans built big. The coliseum in Rome has been a popular movie backdrop for generations, and history books always seem to linger over photos of the great dome of the Pantheon or still-functioning Roman aqueducts in France.
But the Romans saved one of their biggest construction efforts for a far-flung outpost of their empire, in what is present-day Lebanon. The temple at Baalbeck, about 40 miles northeast of Beirut, is the ruin of the largest religious structure ever built by Rome. The base of the temple, begun around 20 A.D., was almost 290 feet long (88 meters) and 160 feet wide (48 meters). The 54 columns that supported the structure's immense roof were each more than seven feet (2.2 meters) in diameter and soared 65 feet in height.
Although the temple was dedicated to Jupiter Heliopolitanus, the Romans, in their typical syncretic fashion, set aside space for local Semitic gods, including Baal and Ashtar.
In fact the local name for the temple site, Baalbeck, was a derivative of the Semitic "baal beqaa," "god of the plain.
There was simply nothing else like it in the whole Roman Empire. The temple was also so big that emperors often invoked Jupiter Heliopolitanus for auguries and support. They also added to the temple throughout the years, mandating and subsidizing the construction of courtyards, tributary temples and sculptural elements that, although eroded and vandalized through the ages, rank among the finest sculptures of ancient Rome.
Alas: with the fall of Rome and the subsequent rise of Byzantium and Islam, as well as hundreds of years of political turmoil, Baalbek fell into sloe ruin. Much of its stone work was carted away by builders from near and far, attracted by the legendary quality of the quarried for its construction.
The Temples in History
For centuries the temples of Baalbeck layed under meters of rubble, obscured by medieval fortifications. But even in ruin the site attracted the admiration of visitors and its historical importance was recognized.
Baalbeck's temples were built on an ancient tell that goes back at least to the end of the third millennium B.C. Little is known about the site during this period, but there is evidence that in the course of the 1st millennium B.C. an enclosed court was built on the ancient tell. An altar was set in the center of this court in the tradition of the biblical Semitic high places.
During the Hellenistic period (333-64 B.C.) the Greeks identified the god of Baalbeck with the sun god and the city was called Heliopolis or city of the Sun.
At this time the ancient enclosed court was enlarged and a podium was erected on its western side to support a temple of classical form. Although the temple was never built, some huge structures from this Hellenistic project can still be seen. And it was over the Great Court of the Temple of Jupiter. The temple was begun in the last quarter of the 1st century B.C. and was nearing completion in the final years of Nero's reign (37-68 A.D.). The Great Court Complex of the Temple of Jupiter, with its porticoes, exedrae, altars and basins, was built in the 2nd century A.D. construction of the so-called temple of Bacchus was also started about this time.
The Propylaea and the Hexagonal Court of the Jupiter Temple were added in the 3rd century under the Severan Dynasty (193-235 A.D.) and work was presumably completed in the mid-3rd century. The small circular structure known as the Temple of Venus was probably finished at this time as well.
When Christianity was declared official religion of the Roman Empire in 131 A.D., Byzantine Emperor Constantine officially closed the Baalbeck temples. At the end of the 4th century, the Emperor Theodosius tore down the altars of Jupiter's Great Court and built a basilica, using the temple's stones and architectural elements. After the Arab Conquest in 636 the temples were transformed into a fortress, or "qala", a term still applied to the Acropolis today. During the next centuries Baalbeck fell successively to the Omayyad, Abbasid, Toulounid, Fatimid and Ayyoubid dynasties. Sacked by the Mongols about 1260, Baalbeck later enjoyed a period of calm and prosperity under Mamluk rule.
Today, the temple is only a shell of its former self. Yet visitors who make the easy trek from Beirut can stilkl trace the immense foundation and observe the workmanship ans scale of several smaller buildings that managed to remain remarkably intact. Six of the great columns from the main temple still stand. Even in their miserably shrunken number, surrounded by ruins, they give modern travelers shiver thinking about just how big the Romans dared to build.
The Sites
The temple complex of Baalbeck is made up of the Jupiter Temple, the Bacchus Temple and the Venus Temple. Only part of the staircase remains of a fourth temple dedicated to Mercure, on Sheikh Abdullah hill. The Great Temple or "Jupiter Temple":
The first view the visitor has of Baalbeck is the six Corinthian columns of the Great Temple, thrusting 22 meters into the skyline. Built on a podium seven meters above the Court, these six columns and the entablature on top give idea of the vast scale of the original structure.
The complex of the Great Temple has a semi circular peribol, the monumental entrance or Propylaea, the hexagonal Court, the Great Court and finally the Temple itself, where the six famous columns stand.
1. The Propylaea: completed in the mid-3rd century A.D., is approached by a large semicircle of stone benches and a partially restored stairway. The entrance structure has towers at either end and its fronted by 12 granite columns. An interior stairway goes to the top of the Propylaea where there is an excellent view of the area.
2. The Hexagonal Forecourt: three doors lead to it where 30 granite columns originally supported the entablature. This six-sided form was built between the Propylaea and the Great Court in the first half of the 3rd century A.D. At the end of the 4th century or the early 5th century, it was transformed into a church covered with a dome.
3. The Great Court: Build in the 2nd century A.D., covered an area of 134x112 meters and contained the main installations of the cult. Structurally, the court is a platform built on the leveled-off top of the ancient artificial tell. The tell was consolidated on the eastern, northern and southern sides by Vaulted substructures, and on the western side by the temple's podium. These substructures supported the porticos and exedra around the Court and were used for stables and storage. The entire Court was enclosed by a succession of rectangular and semi-circular exedra or recesses decorated by niches which contained statues. Surrounding the Court, in front of the exedra, was an 84 column Corinthian colonnade of Egyptian granite. On the exterior walls of the Court the remains of medieval battlements can still be seen.
4.& 5. Altar and Tower: Two huge structures stand in the center of the Great Court: a restored sacrificial altar and a tower with only the lower courses remaining. The tower, dating from the beginning of the 1st century A.D., was probably built to allow the worshipers to view the proceedings from the top.
6.&7. Two Columns and basins: The Tower was flanked by two solitary columns of gray and red granite. Two pools for ritual washing, decorated with relief carvings, were placed north and south of both altar and tower. These structures were destroyed when a westward Christian basilica was built on the site at the end of the 4th century.
8.&9. The Temple of Jupiter (the Cella): This approach to the sanctuary through series of defined spaces was an apparent oriental adaptation.
The temple measures 88x48 meters and stands on a podium 13 meters above the surrounding terrain and 7 meters above the courtyard. It is reached by a monumental stairway.
Originally surrounded by 54 external columns, most of these now lie in fragments on the ground. The six standing columns are joined by an entablature decorated with a frieze of bulls and lions' heads connected by garlands.
The Podium is built with some of the largest stone blocks ever hewn. On the west side of the podium is the "Trilithon", a celebrated group of three enormous stones weighing about 800 tons each.
11. The Ayyoubid Mosque: Located at the West side of Bacchus temple.
12. The 15th century Mamluk tower: At the corner of this temple is a good example of the Mamluk fortifications of Baalbeck.
13. The Round Temple or the so-called Temple of Venus: The germ-like temple southeast of the acropolis was built in the 3rd century A.D. Its design and size, as well as it orientation, set it apart from the other Baalbeck temples. These attributes also help identify it as the temple of the Fortune of Baalbeck that is the tutelary divinity of the city, under the protection of its great gods. It was not by accident that during the Byzantine period it was converted into a church dedicated to Saint Barbara, who is the patron saint of Baalbeck to this day.
14. The Temple of the Muses: the 9 Goddesses presiding over branches of learning and arts. It is located near the Venus temple dating back to the 1st century A.D.
15. The Remains of Portico: Situated next Venus temple.
Around the Town
There are a number of other roman remains and Islamic sites to visit in Baalbeck and its immediate neighborhood.
1. The Great Mosque: In front of acropolis entrance, this mosque dates from the 7th-8th centuries of the Omayyad period. Built on what was the site of the roman forum and later a Byzantine church dedicated to St.John, the mosque reuses granite and limestone columns. There is a square minaret in the northwest corner of the courtyard.
2. Public buildings: At Boustan el-Khan; south of the temples are important remains of public baths, a market and probably a bouleuterion, or assembly place.
3. Ras El-Ain: This ancient spring, now incorporated into modern Baalbeck, has been a source of water since antiquity. Here are traces of a roman shrine and nympheum as well as remains of a Mamluk mosque built in 1277.
4. Quarries: At the southern entrance of the town is a quarry from where, the temples stones were cut in situ monolith I, and nearby monolith II still lying. There is another quarry at Al-Kiyyal, southwest of town after Qoubbat Douris.
Monolith I: A huge block still in situ where it was cut, almost 2,000 years ago. Called the "stone of the Pregnant Woman", it is 21.5m x 4.8m x 4.2meters in size and weighs an estimated 1000,12 tons. This Monolith should be displayed south or north the temple, perpendicular to the trilithon.
Monolith II: Not far from the pregnant stone is lying another monolith bloc,
studied by Dr. Erwin Ruprechtsberger with a scholars team from Linz
Museum in Austria 1996-1997, that they named Monolith II, the
measurements show that it weights 1248 tons while the Monolith I weights
1000,12 tons, was used later on, maybe during the medieval age as quarry and
than left.
5. Qubbat al-Amjad: On Sheikh Abdallah Hill are the remains of the Zawiya-Mosque and tomb of Sheikh 'Abdallah al-Younînî, built under the rule of Al-Amjad, grand nephew of Saladin and governor of Baalbeck, between 1182 and 1230. It was constructed of stones from the neighboring temple of Mercury.
6. City Gate: Northwest of the Acropolis near the army barracks lie the remains of a roman city gate, part of the fortifications that surround the city.
7. Qoubbat as-Saadin: No far from the City Gate is a two -room mausoleum built in 1409, which served as a burial place for the Mamluk governors of Baalbeck.
8. Qoubbat Douris: At the southern entrance of town is the site of an octagonal structure composed of eight roman granite columns. Built during the 13th century, it was originally covered with a cupola and held an ayyoubid tomb.
9. Roman Necropolis: Accidentally unearthed in 1996 enclosing a gold treasure in Douris, 4km from Baalbeck and another one discovered in 2006, both enclosing a gold treasure.
10. Sit Khawla Mausoleum: The Imam el Hussein daughter, over her burial place stands now a beautiful mausoleum covered with blue ceramic and Persian patterns.
11. Temple of Mercury: Built during the roman period (in the 1st century A.D.), over an earlier temple dedicated to the tutelary God of the city and protector of the crops and herds. The remains of the temple are accessible through a stairway carved in the bedrock.
This Phoenician city, the seat of worship to a triad of deities, was known as Heliopolis the Greek period. It retained its religious function in Roman times when the sanctuary of Heliopolitan Jupiter drew thousands of pilgrims. Baalbeck, with its colossal structures, is one of the most impressive examples of imperial Romain architecture at its apogee.
The Baalbeck international festival
Launched in 1956, one of the most prestigious annual festivals in Lebanon and in the whole region, combining music, dance, theatre, sound and light shows. World wide renowned artists perform there. It is held from early July through mid august each year.

SoapCalc.net – Build Your Own Soap Recipe
Liberty Natural Wholesale – $50 min order
Mr Do Right Soap Molds
Electric Paint/Cement/Soap/Batter Mixer – $53
This week I am returning to making soap for no other particular reason other than making a video. I know that many of my regular readers went on to actually make soap after my original article almost exactly two years ago. And since we pick up over 1,000 subscribers per day here, I'm sure lots of new dedicated readers/watchers didn't even know it was there.
Making soap from store bought ingredients isn't so much a survival topic as much as it is about bringing value to the world after the collapse. This soap, (without goats milk or any other health store soap gimmick), is extremely therapeutic to anything that itches, and you will never go back to store bought soap once you try it regardless. But it does take inputs that you can't grow or produce yourself. I'm not going to reiterate the stuff I explained in the video, so just watch it. At some point America is not going to run on selling stuff made in another place to each other. Having the skill to make something useful is a better investment than silver coins or anything else.
At some point, possibly soon, I am going to try to make soap from just wood ashes and tallow. The original story about how soap was "discovered" is that after forest fires, people would wash their clothes at the side of water where animals died. The fat from the dead animals had soponofied with the lye created from the ashes, and they saw that the clothes got cleaner. Um horseshit. But whatever. That man was imbued with useful knowledge at the beginning of creation by a devine Creator isn't going to make it into the textbooks, no matter how ridiculous the alternative may sound. I just don't know how people can repeat obvious crap with a straight face.
Nonetheless, I did find an article in Mother Earth News about making soap from ashes, and I'd like to try it.
For our purposes though, we are using online purchased sodium hydroxide and vegetable oils. You may recognize sodium hydroxide as old style drain cleaner, but it is nearly impossible to find it in that pure form today. Until a few years ago there was one brand left, Red Devil, but that seems to now be gone as well.
From a survival perspective, storing sodium hydroxide is problematic. There is a reason why Drano came in steel cans. Any air at all destroys sodium hydroxide, and quickly. Supposedly HDPE containers are airproof, and I have personally seen that this is true with a 5 gallon bucket of coconut oil I have had for many years. It has not oxidized at all. But I have tried to keep sodicum hydroxide in HDPE and it didn't work. Screw on lids may be the problem. If you plan to store sodium hydroxide I would put the container in a Mylar bag and seal it. That is why I a going to do, and throw in an O2 absorber as well.
There is a strong argument to store oils and sodium hydroxide separately, as opposed to just making the soap now. Oils are calories that you can eat. Soap you cannot eat, even though mice seem to love it. If it turns out that trade establishes itself after the collapse to a point where the people left alive can get sufficient food, oils may be something you can swap for other things you want. If food and oils are available, your oils will make you more trade value as soap, especially to anyone who has dandruff or a skin condition. Just food for thought, or soap 😛
I have linked above to Liberty Natural as a source for your oils, but remember that any oils will work. Even if the oils is oxidized, or has been used in a fryolator for two weeks, it will make usable and pleasant soap.
For molds, keep in mind that I have been a soaper for decades now. I have linked to expensive take apart molds, but you don't need them to make soap. As I explained in the video, where I learned to make soap was from a farmer in New Hampshire, who to this day is most likely making her soap in beer flats with trashbag liners. That works fine. It is funny that this guy on Ebay says he has been doing soap molds since 2003. That was precisely when I designed (but did not patent) the wooden soap mold you see in the video. I support him now because the guy I tried to set up in business making them turned out to be a dud, and this guy took the idea and kept at it all this time. It's great.
Keeping at it I think is going to be the key to surviving after the collapse. It all may crash in within the scope of a day, a week, or even a minute if the psychos who currently run this planet start popping nukes. But as I have suggested before, it may just slowly decay into chaos, as it does in the Ayn Rand book from 1957 called Atlas Shrugged. Though it is long, I would read that book if you have been convinced that a sudden collapse or hyperinflation is the only possible scenario. It may likely not be the case, and you may want to sell your handful of silver coins and buy some olive oil and sodium hydroxide, just in case.

If your child thinks carrots come from the grocery store and peanuts are manufactured in a factory and sealed in a can, perhaps it's time to consider a back-yard garden.
"We see a lot of youngsters here who have no idea how vegetables are grown," said Jim Bailey, a former agriculture teacher at Sunny Hills High School in Fullerton. He donates his time and expertise at the Youth Garden at the Orange County Fairgrounds.
The fairgrounds in Costa Mesa operates a youth garden at its year-round farm. Youngsters can see firsthand how carrots, lettuce, beans and tomatoes are grown. In addition, more unusual "crops" are also grown here--grapes, berries, peanuts and popcorn.
"Tour groups come by to see how these foods are grown as well as visit with the animals at the farm," Bailey said. "We started the garden about two years ago, and 16,000 children have come through since then."

Children's many expressions!
Good Morning!
Hope this find you all well and you're having a great day! Mother's Day is this Sunday, what kind of plans do you have for the special day? Are you going out or are you doing the cooking? I'm all for going out! ;~D
Ok on with the topic for this blog, which I'm looking for some feedback on. With hiring a professional photographer to take pictures of your child/children, you don't typically purchase photos where they are making faces or where they are unhappy or they have weird expressions (those pictures are usually NOT EVEN shown to you, the photographer will reject/delete them as they work through the pictures). As I photograph children, I generally get some funny and sometimes not so funny expressions, which I find amusing or thoughtful. They are likely pictures that would not be ordered if seen but have expressions that the parents have probably seen many a times and may bring a special memory to their minds. So one of the things I've done is make collages of the different expressions in some of those photos that would typically be rejected and deleted. I feel it gives the parents a chance to have a print of those expressions when the individual pictures would not be ones they would ever consider purchasing otherwise. Below are some collages that I've created from recent sessions that shows many expressions of the little ones that may bring a smile, a chuckle, an awe, a frown, etc. to you. What emotion do they bring to you? I'm interested in what you think, would like to see what is everybody's take on this type of a collage. Do you feel it is worth my time in creating this type collage? Please leave your thoughts by clicking on +Add comment below.
Looking forward to reading your comments.
Thank you for viewing and visiting my blog. Have a great day!

by Tonyaa Weathersbee
(PNS) -- More than 40 years ago, Martin Luther King Jr. had folks like the inhabitants of McKeesport, Pennsylvania pegged.
In his writings and speeches, the civil rights icon outlined how Jim Crow was used as political stratagem by aristocratic whites to suppress unity between poor whites and former slaves; of how it made their stomach rumblings more bearable as long as they didn't have to eat their meager meals next to a black person. It was a strategy that duped them into seeing black people as the enemy rather than the economic and political realities that were really keeping them down.
If comments from working-class whites like the McKeesport residents regarding Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama are any indication, shades of that strategy is still working.
And it's both sad and infuriating.
One resident, Edward Norgren, whose economic lifeline was cut when the steel mills near McKeesport were closed in the 1980s, told The Washington Post that he didn't intend to vote for Obama. But Norgren's reasons for not supporting him had nothing to do with any reason that could be considered remotely logical; that maybe Obama hadn't spent enough time in the Senate or that he hasn't been specific enough on solutions to the problems dogging working-class folks like himself.
His reasons were tinged in racism and ignorance.
Norgren said he didn't think that Obama was American (Newsflash: To run for president, one has to be born an American citizen.). He also said he didn't like Michelle's Obama's suggestion that she hadn't been proud of her country Ð- a remark that right-wing media continues to spin out of proportion.
Another resident, Tim Hetrick, told the Post that he thinks Obama just wants to be president because he's black.
Someone please tell me: What behind did he pull that explanation out of?
Now, lest I be guilty of stereotyping, I have to say that I don't believe the views of Norgren and Hetrick reflect the views of all working-class white people. There are good reasons why white people -- and for that matter, many black people -- support Hillary Clinton over Obama, and those reasons may have nothing to do with race.
Yet when one turns to the next chapter -- the one that shows what happens if Obama is the Democratic nominee -- and you see racism written throughout it.
Both Norgren and Hetrick told the Post that if Obama is the nominee, they'll be voting for Republican John McCain in November. Similar views are also reflected in other polling data.
A Time magazine poll conducted April 2-6 among registered Pennsylvania Democrats showed that if the presidential election was between Clinton and McCain, Clinton would receive 68 percent of their vote, while McCain would receive 16 percent of their vote. But if the contest was between Obama and McCain, Obama would receive 56 percent of that Democratic vote, while McCain would receive 26 percent.
In other words, Clinton supporters are far less likely to support Obama if their candidate isn't the nominee than vice-versa.
And a chief part of that explanation, to me, has vestiges in Jim Crow.
It's true that while Jim Crow is largely associated with the South, Pennsylvania also has a similar history of racial animus. Colonial Pennsylvania was a slave-owning society that even attempted to control free blacks, and once blacks began to compete with whites for jobs after the Civil War, they suffered from a huge backlash from poor whites who feared being seen as equal to blacks.
So they drank some concoction akin to the Jim Crow Kool-Aid as well. And it seems that the aftertaste is lingering.
We know this because if working-class whites like Norgren and Hetrick are saying that they'd rather vote for McCain -- a man who plans to continue to drain the economic resources that they need to revitalize their impoverished former steel town for this useless Iraq War -- than Obama, we know this is about racism, not rationality.
And the fact that so many other Pennsylvania Democrats are willing to jump party lines to vote for someone who doesn't represent their economic self-interests rather than take a chance on a black man illustrates that old fears, and not new hopes, remain a potent persuader in this election season.
Overcoming those fears will likely be Obama's toughest challenge. All he can hope for is that come November, enough hopeful voters, both black and white, show up at the polls to cancel out the hateful ones.

- Poznámka:
Today, audio is a plastic medium ? akin to sculpture. It can be shaped carefully for aesthetic and technical reasons. Imagine this class as a music composition class where your instrument is the studio and you will learn to sculpt sound for moving images. Most of what you learn can also be applicable to making music using the same tools ? a digital audio work station with good monitor speakers.
Audio post production is both an art and a craft that is easy to understand but difficult to master, particularly if your ear is untrained. Hence we will focus on close listening and attempting to hear what you are listening to, throughout the class.
The class will be divided into two parts A) theory which will be often taught through examples, and B) practice. Students are expected to bring in their own projects to work on.
We will focus on the musicality of making soundtracks - rhythm, pitch, density, mass, line, colour, while learning about editing tools. The same tools are used to work on the micro/sample/sound level and then overall at the macro level for the whole soundtrack/composition/song. That distinction is important to keep in mind throughout ? what level are you working at ? individual sounds or the overall composition?
Sara Pinheiro - http://sarapinheiro.com/about_en.php
Eric Rosenzveig was a professional musician from 1986-1992 at which point he started working with the visual artist Willy LeMaitre, creating sound for moving image, often derived from live analysis of video. After the electric guitar his instrument became David Rokeby's Very Nervous systém and the MAX software environment. In his own work he has tried to find a space between sound and image where the two mediums become inseparable. He teaches electroacoustic composition at NYU and from 2008-2013 sound for moving image at FAMU International.

"Our Imams should be religious volunteers, not appointed religious officers"
BURSA - Speaking at the opening ceremony of the new service building of the Provincial Mufti of Bursa, Mehmet Görmez, Director of Religious Affairs, emphasized that they want imams to be devotees of religion, not appointed religious officials.
Director of Religious Affairs Prof. Dr. Mehmet Görmez participated in the opening ceremony of the new service building of Bursa Provincial Mufti.
Speaking at the opening ceremony of the mufti building that started with the Qur'anic recitation, Director of Religious Affairs Mehmet Görmez said, "We want our Imams to be religious volunteers, not appointed religious officers. Not civil servants who only pray 5 times a day, he should work as spiritual architect who keeps spiritual life alive in city, neighborhood, street, village and country."
"Our biggest intention is to preserve the spirit and heart of the cities"
"Bursa is the center of knowledge and wisdom of the Islamic civilization," said Görmez and added, "Also cities have a heart, have a soul. Bursa is a city with a soul. Bursa is a city with a heart. A city which its heart beats saying as Allah, Allah. As the concrete buildings are increasing, the soul and the heart of our cities are weakening from time to time. We need to keep the spirit and heart of our cities strong. Religion Affairs, together with the Provincial Muftis, our biggest intention is to protect the spirit of the cities. As the buildings are growing, we need greater struggle to keep the human spirit alive."
"Our Imams should be religious volunteers, not appointed religious officers"
Görmez stated that the Religion Affairs and the Mufti Officers are not ordinary bureaucratic mechanisms, and said, "The main task of the Religion Affairs is to keep the city spiritual and scientific alive. Religious and muftis are not ordinary bureaucratic mechanisms, and should not be. Our cities should work to keep our religious and spiritual life alive. We want our imams not to be assigned religious officials, but to be dedicated religious volunteers. Work as a spiritual architect who keeps the spiritual life of the city, the locality, the street, the village, the town, the land, and not only the civil servant who performs prayer 5 times a day. Each of our citizens must bring all kinds of problems, and if two brothers have problems, they must come to the mosque to make peace."
Referring to the importance of the Presidency of Religious Affairs, Görmez said, "The political and economic stability of the nations is important. But when the Muslim nations lose their religious and spiritual stability, religious integrity and religious security, political and economic stability disappears. If we do not want to be a country where every one of the mosques turns into a sect, every school turns into a party, every religious institution becomes a faction, then we need to keep our Organization of Religious Affairs like we protect our eyes."

Enjoy savings when you extend this cruise with BRE1806 (applies to categories 1 – 7).
Scheduled flight from Frankfurt to Lima
Overnight stay with breakfast
City tour
Callao (Lima)/Peru, departure 17.00 hrs
Callao is Peru's biggest harbour and close to the capital, Lima. Despite chaotic traffic conditions, a constant grey mist that the locals call "garua", and the rapidly growing shanty towns – formerly known as "barriadas" and today called "pueblos jovenes" – numerous historic sights dating from the colonial era and impressive collections of Peruvian art offer visitors a wealth of interesting impressions.
Peru (Salaverry)
Journey back in time to unspoilt nature
Your exciting and diverse expedition begins in Salaverry in Peru. From here, you will travel back through time to discover the Huaca del Dragon Temple and Chan Chan*. Follow in the footsteps of the Chimu civilisation in what was once their capital city – now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Marvel at the former settlement area of the Mochica culture – which is around 2,000 years old – and the ruins of important Chimu shrines in the Moche Valley with the Pyramid of the Sun and the Pyramid of the Moon*. Built from millions of adobe bricks, the former is the largest solid construction in the Americas, whilst the latter is known for its luminous paintings and murals. These cultural treasures are followed by natural spectacles.
Relaxation at sea
Ecuador (Isla de la Plata , Manta)
Isla de la Plata in Ecuador translates as "silver island". It is said that Sir Francis Drake hid treasure here. It won't take you too long to discover the island's real riches: the animal life here – including red-footed boobies and Nazca boobies, frigate birds, turkey vultures and lava lizards – makes it a kind of miniature Galapagos. Your hike in Pacoche National Park* starts in the city of Manta on the Ecuadorian coast. Passing various vegetation zones, discover the tropical forest reserve with its colourful orchids, banana palms and orange trees. Alternatively, see perfect workmanship on the "coast of craftspeople*", where ivory nut carvings, ceramic figures and the famous Panama hats are produced.
Relaxation at sea
Panama City/Panama, arrival 17.00 hrs
A lifeline between two oceans
As you cross the equator you come ever closer to the highlight of your cruise: the Panama Canal. It dominates the region as well as the lives of people and animals that live here, and it will also play a major role in your activities around Panama City, which will allow you to experience the canal from different perspectives on shore. Isla Flamenco is situated directly in front of the skyline of Panama's capital city, and when the BREMEN drops anchor here in the evening, your first walk will show just how closely modernity and the past exist here side by side. Enormous container ships at the shore contrast sharply with the historical buildings of Casco Viejo – the old town – a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Beyond the city's limits you will discover a very different kind of hustle and bustle during a nocturnal walk through the rainforest* – accompanied by the mysterious noises of the jungle. It is unforgettable – as are the activities by boat and cable car the next day: Gatun Lake and the rainforest*. Here the Panama Canal is a large reservoir; in its narrow side branches, you might spot capuchin monkeys, caimans and toucans. You will also see luscious green vegetation as you glide along. On the excursion to Panama City's old town and the Miraflores Locks*, old and new converge. Alternatively, you can visit the Embera Indians* in the Chagres National Park, travelling in rustic, motorised canoes. Experience their hospitality and enjoy music and dancing under the leafy canopy of the ancient tropical jungle. And then you will finally see it – the highlight of the cruise – on a day trip on the Panama Canal.
Panama City, departure 5.00 hrs
Daytime passage through the Panama Canal
It is a technical masterpiece full of history and individual stories. Opened over 100 years ago, it is over 80 km (49 mi.) long and nowadays it is also one of the most important waterways in the world. The canal has undergone – and is still undergoing – extensive expansion so that it can take increasingly bigger container ships. Your team of experts will provide exciting facts about its construction and its significance, making the data and the details come alive. From the deck, enjoy views of grasslands, dense jungle and wild mangrove forests.
San Blas Islands
When you arrive on the Caribbean side, the picture book world of the San Blas Islands welcomes you. The beaches are almost snow white, the water is turquoise and the vegetation is a deep green: let yourself relax on the beach and feel like Robinson Crusoe as you swim and snorkel.
Santa Marta/Colombia
Dream Caribbean destinations
The world's highest coastal mountains provide the backdrop for your expedition day in the land of coffee. One of Colombia's most important ports is also a premiere destination for the BREMEN: Santa Marta. Take in the city's history as you follow in the footsteps of Simón Bolívar*, the courageous national hero. Meanwhile, in the Tayrona National Natural Park* nature becomes the main protagonist: on a hike through the tropical dry forest you will learn fascinating facts about flora and fauna – rounded off by glorious views of the wild coastline.
Relaxation at sea
Curacao is where Caribbean dreams come true: here the sky appears to melt into the ocean, and the beaches and the sun gleam as though trying to outdo each other. The UNESCO World Heritage Site of Willemstad, with its old town, has a European appearance, which reveals its Dutch roots. Discover picturesque colonial buildings during a walking tour of the city*, or take an island tour* and be amazed by the powerful waves in the Shete Boka National Park.
Relaxation at sea
Port of Spain/Trinidad
The name Trinidad is based on a very different wonder of nature: it was Christopher Columbus who named the island after the Holy Trinity, inspired by its three mountain peaks. The boat trip through the Caroni Bird Sanctuary* is heaven for birdwatchers.

Facebook has been pushing live video as its next big format for a while now, and that means there are plenty of media outlets trying to take advantage of the extra visibility. Some, though, aren't being so honest about it, with Mashable pointing out this week that some viral Facebook pages have been passing off archive footage from the International Space Station as live streams from off the planet.
UNILAD and Viral USA are two pages that tricked viewers in this way, launching hours-long "live" streams from space earlier this week. At the time of writing, UNILAD's has attracted more than 19 million views since its broadcast, shared under the text "Space from the International Space Station! Where in the world are you watching from?" You can see in the video thumbnail, though, that the two Russian cosmonauts are actually carrying the Olympic Torch for the 2014 Winter Games — a spacewalk that took place in November 2013.
Viral USA's video, broadcast on Wednesday, has now amassed some 28 million views and was shared with the text "View From SPACE! FOLLOW US: Viral USA." The footage appears to have come from a 2015 spacewalk by US astronaut Terry Virts and NASA has confirmed to Gizmodo that the footage was certainly not live.
In both cases, neither outlet explicitly described the footage as a live stream, but they didn't need to given that Facebook delivered to users as exactly that. Reading over the comments certainly confirms that users thought they were seeing real live footage, with many marveling over how good the internet is in space, complaining about wasting government tax dollars, or arguing that the whole thing was fake anyway.
When asked by BBC News why it had uploaded old footage as a live stream, UNILAD said it was just to "test the capabilities of what the 'live broadcast' feature on Facebook could really do." A test that also racked up millions of views and shares for the UNILAD Facebook page.
If you're interesting in watching a legitimate live stream from outer space though, NASA usually broadcasts its spacewalks when they occur, and there's a constant live stream running from cameras on the outside of the ISS.

Waterfront Settlements
As you travel along the Valeria River, you'll see remote settlements that are even smaller than Boca da Valeria, with just a few houses each. In addition to more populous cities, such as Belém and Manaus, thousands of waterfront settlements dot the banks of the Amazon River and its smaller tributaries. These rivers have long served as the road system of the region, a way for residents to get around every day as they fish, hunt and trade. A visit to one of the small communities in the area provides a glimpse into a way of life that has persisted even as the outside world has encroached on the Amazon over the centuries.

New Questions Raised Over Bipartisan Budget, Debt Deal
Lisa Boothe: It continues to kick the can down the road in the sense that it does nothing to address our national debt and growing deficit. The big problem here is it blows through the spend be caps that were put in place by the budget control act not too long ago that has been able to get a firmer hand on our increasing deficits and has been able to cut spending. That's a big problem. And also pushes our national debt closer to $20 trillion. Which is also a problem. Look, the biggest problem with this too, is that the deal was done behind closed doors, which is why so many Americans across the country hate congress, because of these kinds of tactics. It uses budgetary gimmicks to give the idea that there is an offset in spending that's happening here. This is a big problem. The higher the national debt grows, it means slower economic growth for so many Americans across the country who are already struggling in the economy.
Jonas Max Ferris: It's the greatest budget deal we've had in several years. Unfortunately that's not saying much, but it is actually the most secure from like defaulting on debt point of view, general craziness. Sure, it's great. The problem is, to Lisa's point, which is half right, the long-term problem doesn't go away. It's a good solid can-cake. A few weeks. Not until the next president. The problem is it doesn't address the issues. It does a lot with gimmicks. Stupid gimmicks. Talking about raiding the oil reserves to come up with a few billion dollars as if we were in some sort of war and needed to tap that. We're selling at low oil prices. We're not selling the gold off, which we don't use for anything, and that's worth more. That would offend the crazy gold people. So it has a lot of totally ridiculous tricks to make this happen. But again, it's one of our best ones, to let it rip.
John Layfield: Jonas is trying to find the tallest leprechaun: You're right. The other ones are terrible. This is just bad. We have a problem going forward. These are not scare tactics. Every budget that you have out there right now shows us running about $8 trillion of deficit -- debt for the next ten years. If you add that onto $18 trillion you're around $26 trillion. Put the long-term average, say the last 20 years of an interest rate at 5.7%, We're going to be spending -- these are real numbers. We'll be spending $1.5 trillion on interest alone in ten years. Now, think about the lost opportunity. When you have a company that runs into funding problems. First thing they cut is R&D. They quit investing in themselves. That's what America is doing right now. Look at our infrastructure. What would that do if we didn't have this to spend on education. You need to get rid of every one of these guys.
Nomi Konst: The number one way to cut back on things republicans like to spend money on is to create jobs. When you create jobs, which this fiscal plan suggests there will be 340,000 plans created. That prevents people from taking on welfare and the extra costs that we complain about. Yes, we should cut part of the budget. We should cut defense spending. A lot of the deals that have been made increases defense spending which frustrates liberals. To go back to what Lisa said. This is the first time in a long time congress has gotten anything done. When you have the CEO for the Club for Growth saying that it's because two lame ducks, John Boehner and the president, got together and worked a deal, that's because he owns Congress. A lot of these special interests are preventing congress from getting things done. When they have the closed-door meetings with two lame ducks no longer owned by special interests, guess what happens. You get a deal. It's great. We're kicking the bucket down the road for two years but at least something is happening.
Gary B. Smith: No, we're never going to cut. John, back to john's point. Since he made a lot of the same points. He is playing the Suzy this week. Stealing all my points. The interest payments that john talked about are -- they're going to be 1.7 Trillion if we go back to normal interest rates. That's about a third of the tax revenues that we take in. We won't have a lot of money for other things. So not only is it, you know, just money that could have been spent elsewhere. It's going to absorb a lot of the revenues that we take in. Per Nomi's point. Implied there is that government is a great job creator. Where in the history has ramping up the federal budget created a lot of jobs? In that case we should give every dollar we make in income to the government because they're just so great at creating jobs. Instead it's the opposite. Every dollar we spend, we get back about 90 cents in jobs created. We would be better off keeping the money ourselves. I can go to Starbucks and spend the money there and create new jobs rather than give it to the government and rely on them to create the next world. That thinking is just silly. It's why we have greater and greater budgets, thinking the government can do all when it can hardly do anything.
New Concerns ISIS Might Try to Sneak Into U.S. With Syrian Refugees
Gary B Smith: Absolutely, Brenda. The conventional wisdom has always been we are a strong, resilient country and shrug these off and go about our business. To a large extent that's true. But look in the northeast when there is a the threat of a snow storm. People rush to the supermarket and buy 200 rolls of toilet paper. People panic. I tell you what. If we continue to have increased threats of terrorism and one of them results in something like someone puts a bomb in the Holland tunnel, guess what, New York City is shut down. That means the better part of the country is shut down. Economic activity comes to a halt. People won't want to go outside. That's what we are dealing with the economy.
Nomi Koonst: Every time we as the media report on these true stories it sends fear through Americans. But if we report on it every day, will we get numb to it? Jeh Johnson was being reasonable, Secretary Johnson, in saying, yes, the 10,000 refugees coming over, we should be cautious. There have been tighter restrictions over the past few years since we brought in Iraqi refugees. That being said, this is a multi-front war here. This is a modern-day situation where we should be getting -- we should be partnering with tech companies, twitter. We can wire-tap people. Why aren't we shutting down these twitter accounts, shutting down these YouTube accounts where ISIS is spreading the message to Americans who are being recruited? Why are we not being more firm on that?
John Layfield: We'll survive this as well. This is a European problem. It should not be an American problem. We're the largest donor to the U.N. Refugee location problem. It cost us $1.1 Billion, $16,000 per person last year. Think about what we are doing. The Lebanon and turkey has a million refugee us because they can walk there. What we're doing is actually going out, finding the refugees and we're flying them here, at our expense. To me, we're already giving a billion dollars a year, that money could be spent on things here in America to help Americans. This is a terrible crisis. I think Europe should settle their problems themselves. The root of the problem is Syria. That's what we've screwed up so good.
Jonas Max Ferris: America got to where it was by being smarter than most countries. Although having a terrorist attack here would hurt the economy, cutting off visitors hurts the economy. New York City, if we had no visitors allowed, we'd have a recession in a week because those people spend money. Not the refugees but people in general. You don't want to go overboard in an effort to stop an attack, which is also bad for the economy. You have to track people properly. This is where being smart is more important, so you can minimize the attacks and have the benefit -- not giving people citizenship. I'm not talking about letting people overstay their visas. I have apps on my phone that know where i am right now and where i was this morning. We can do better if we allow people to come here. Not just as citizens but spending and working.
Lisa Boothe: That's certainly a fear. John is absolutely right. The problem is Syria here. It will only get worse because we have a president who admittedly has no plan to tackle ISIS. We have a president who believes that climate change is a bigger problem than ISIS. We have a president exercising poor judgment with the deal with Iran. After we struck the deal Russia went into Syria to exert its dominance. The big problem is that they are targeting the very non-ISIS rebels that the U.S. Is trying to prop up. Guess what also happened since that deal? Iran has captured or arrested two different Americans, and they've also tested a nuclear ballistic weapon that flies in the face of sanctions.
REI Giving Employees Paid Day Off On Black Friday
John Layfield: I think it's terrible for business. I don't know why you would stay closed on one of your busiest days of the year. I really think this is more of a marketing ploy. Brenda, thanks to you and Gary B., We get incredible ratings on this show. Think about how much free publicity we're giving them. I think it's a marketing ploy with R.E.I. I think it's bad business to stay shut.
Jonas Max Ferris: In general it's great that there is more business everywhere. America is the best example of this. There is a thing called economics and escalation. Companies start to compete with each other and start doing more and more ridiculous things and they have to do it. Eventually the stores will be open 24/7. Will that help the economy versus them closing at a normal hour. If one closes early she'll go out of business because the others are open later. It's like everyone getting a bigger and bigger billboard. You don't get more sales. You just make the landscape uglier. At some point you have to say enough is enough. They have the planes flying on the beach here. I'm sure it's good for the economy that is says don't shoot machine guns on the weekend. Is it making the world a happier place? I don't think so.
Nomi Koonst: It's great for the economy and growth. Over the past few years black Friday has become less popular because of the Internet. Last year 55% of Americans shopped on black Friday. 44% Of the number was from the Internet.
Gary B. Smith: Listen, I applaud R.E.I. I agree with john. I think it's a complete marketing ploy. Good for the employees. Yeah, right. I'm sure out of the goodness of their hearts they're doing this. You know, what someone else will step in. Urban outfitters will be open. Sports authority. People fill the gap. It's not just, Jonas, by opening up for longer hours. Retailers come up with innovative ways to fill the holes. I hope it works for R.E.I.
Lisa Boothe: I think Gary needs to stop being so cynical. If R.E.I. Can shoulder the burden of any losses it's their prerogative to shut the store on black Friday. I hate black Friday. I would rather be home spending time with my family and enjoying the day off of work.
John Layfield: (SKX) 20% in a year
Jonas Max Ferris: (MLHR) 20% in a year
Gary B. Smith: (PRTY) 30% profit in a year

Titan Productions and Silent Devil Launch New Comic Book Franchise,
Official Press Release
Titan Productions, a franchise development company specializing in the video game industry, and Silent Devil, a creator influenced comic book publisher, are announcing the launch of a new comic book franchise at this week's New York Comic Book Convention: EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT
Co-created by Titan Productions partners David Wohl (Co-creator of Witchblade, Darkness, and Aphrodite IX) and Brad Foxhoven, EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT debuts the art of Siya.
The story is inspired by real events between the late 70's and 80's, where senior executives in Asia began to groom their female executive assistants to be trained killers – taking the term "corporate warfare" to a new level. EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT is a creative retelling of this point of history, bringing it into the modern day. She is a secretary, bodyguard, spy and assassin all rolled into one.
Titan Productions is targeting EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT as the beginning of what will be a series of new projects coming from the company later this year. "Our goal is to replicate the success David and I had when we were at Top Cow together several years ago," said Foxhoven. The company plans on announcing the titles at San Diego Comicon later this year.
A relative newcomer to comics, Siya's art caught the eye of Wohl several years ago at a convention in Seattle. "Over the years that I've been involved with publishing comics, I've probably perused tens of thousands of art samples," expressed Wohl. "And among those many pages, I've been blessed with the opportunity to have seen the work of a number of "diamonds in the rough"– From Joe Benitez to David Finch, from Billy Tan to Michael Turner–one look at their work and you knew you were seeing something special. And now, with Siya, I think the potential for greatness is there. And I'm as excited as everyone else to see how far she can go!"
"I've been a fan of David's work on Aphrodite IX , Witchblade and The Darkness ," says Silent Devil publisher Christian Beranek. "EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT finally gives me a chance to work with David, and we're thrilled to be presenting it. "
A lithograph celebrating the announcement of the title and featuring art by Siya will debut at Silent Devil's booth #751 during New York Comic Con this weekend. David Wohl and Christian Beranek will be on hand for a panel Saturday the 24 th from 7-8pm to answer questions from fans about the project.

Let's walk around blind, it'll be more fun that way
At least that's what she told me yesterday
Oh I need you, but I'm lying anyway
Oh I need you, you lied to me everyday
I don't wanna hear you talk about the things we could share
I don't wanna hear you speak about the way you never cared
It's not like I hate you, but I'm getting there x2
Let's walk around blind and pretend everything is fine
But not like what happened yesterday
Oh I need you but I'd rather hear you say
Oh I need you, you can lie to me any day
I just can't take it anymore
Woah oh, woah oh, woahh x7
Woahh Ohh x8

Tips for Using the Cornell Event Calendar (Localist)
You are here
Become an Administrator
As an administrator you have access to extra fields that allow you to tag and filter events. Contact firstname.lastname@example.com and ask for "Administrator Rights."
Provide Lots of Details
As you fill out information for events, include as much information as you can and post about your event as early as possible. The more you provide the more searchable and appealing it becomes. But try to keep your event titles short enough that they can display fully through various channels. Entering your event as soon as you have a date, even before you have all of the details, allows all of us to spread out our events so we're not competing with each other for audience.
Add Events and Pay Attention to These Details:
- Keep in mind how your event will appear on lists on various websites. What you type in the "Name" field is what shows up on public lists.
- Make sure the map shows up by filling in the address line. For some locations it will show up automatically if you indicate the building, but if it doesn't, add an address.
- Add Images. It is relatively easy to add images and it will help your event stand out in the long daily lists.
- For all the descriptive fields, multiple items can be selected. You add them one at a time. For example, if an event is relevant to multiple departments, select all of that apply.
- Adding urls, twitter hashtags and references to facebook pages will help promote your event.
- Likewise, promote the link to your calendar event through your website and social media. People can add these events to their calendars and be sent reminders if they RSVP through the calendar site, which can promote attendance.
Using Keywords and Tags
- Use the keyword field to help filter your entries. These words are used to create filtered lists and they are not visible to the public. For example,the Department of Philosophy might add the keyword calphil to create the unique listing on their webpage; "calphil" is used as opposed to"philosophy" which could be used by anyone to describe anything related to that topic. Important keywords to know: "cascal" for the Arts and Sciences event calendar (six at a time appear on the A&S website on "The College" page) and CUL for events taking place at, or co-sponsored by a university library.
- Use the tag field to help people find your event. It is visible to the public and, of course, searchable. If your event is relevant to philosophy, classics, archaeology and Greek, add all those words.
- You can add tags and keywords to other people's entries. Just be careful not to erase anything that is already in there.
Data Entry Tips
- If you have a yearly event make it easy on yourself by creating the event once and adding a new date each year. You can update any details at the same time.
- "Copy" events to make data entry easy, especially if much of the information is the same such as would happen in a colloquium series.
- If you already have a calendar system or database and you want to bulk upload items, the calendar team can facilitate that. Contact: email@example.com.
For help with any Localist issue, contact: email@example.com

Pictured: The British doctor, 28, who died in rock climbing accident in Yosemite National Park after being hit by rock dislodged by friend
Accident: British doctor Felix Kiernan has died after falling from a mountain in Yosemite National Park
A British doctor has been killed in a rock climbing accident in California.
Felix Joseph Kiernan died after he was struck by a large rock falling from approximately 150ft.
The 28-year-old from north- west London was 600ft up the popular El Capitan route in Yosemite National Park when his climbing partner dislodged the block, measuring about 1ft by 2ft, in a 'freak accident'.
He was pronounced dead when search and rescue workers reached him at around 4pm on Sunday.
El Capitan, a 3,000ft granite rock formation
in Yosemite Valley, is one of America's most popular climbing spots.
Mr Kiernan's parents said he was an experienced climber and had been enjoying a six-month break before he was due to start training to be an oncologist.
His father, Patrick, 60, also a doctor, said: 'He and his climbing partner Luke were extremely cautious.
'But it was a freak accident.'
His mother said: 'He is going to be missed so much.
'He was handsome and so much fun. He was a beautiful man.'
Mr Kiernan is understood to have gone to secondary school at nearby Acland Burghley, along with his twin who is also a doctor.
